👇 Here are direct quotes from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in his interview about the release of the Epstein files:

1. “There has been no effort to redact President Donald Trump’s name from the release of the files.”

2. “Assuming it’s consistent with the law, yes, every document that mentions Trump will be released.”

3. “So there’s no effort to hold anything back because there’s the name Donald J. Trump or anybody else’s name…”

4. “We’re not redacting the names of famous men and women that are associated with Epstein.”

5. “President Trump has certainly said from the beginning that he expects all files that can be released to be released and that’s exactly what we’re doing.”

6. “Your confidence should be in the fact that for decades, lots of people have been trying to go after President Trump falsely, and when it came to the Epstein saga, it’s exactly the same story.”
